Understanding Resistance

Pressfield introduces Resistance as the invisible force that prevents us from pursuing our creative goals. It manifests as procrastination, self-doubt, fear, and distraction. He argues that recognizing and overcoming Resistance is the first step toward fulfilling our creative potential.

• Resistance is universal; everyone experiences it.
• “Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work. It will perjure. It will falsify; it will seduce. Resistance will never go away.”
